Jobs!
I can't get myself to download these. I don't see how it isn't piracy...I want these all so bad too. If the moderator can help out, that would be great.
Well, copyright is renewable. Gone With the Wind is still under copyright due to the influence of the Mitchell estate.

Her work is still protected because 1936 plus 95 years is 2031.Just FYI, copyright is not renewable. Beast got it exactly right.

In the USA it is 95 years, but that could always change again if corporations (like Disney) lobby hard enough to lengthen copyright.In any event, I don't think any of these posted materials are in the public domain. It's all just Waygook supported piracy.

However, I would also add that if a country has a copyright treaty with the US. Then it is American copyright law even though its not America. The U.S. has copyright treaties with a lot of countries, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Here, I'd like to point out that I am not American. I am European and I have not studied American Law in detail. I studied business and one of my subjects was about law and specifically intellectual property. This is how I am aware of the law around copyrights but I am open to correction. I am by no means an expert.
